Triple homicide suspect Harry Mapps to be sent back to Colorado

Triple homicide suspect Harry Mapps appeared in court Monday. He chose to waive his extradition rights and will be sent back to Colorado.

Mapps was arrested Saturday night at a motel in Roland, Okla.

He is suspected of shooting a family of three in Colorado, then setting their house on fire with their bodies inside. Mapps face charges in the November shooting deaths of 55-year-old Kim Tuttle, 51-year-old Reggie Tuttle and 33-year-old Dawn Roderick.

Sequoyah County Sheriff's Department officials said they received some information Mapps was staying at a motel in Roland and that tip was right.

Since his arrest, several local agencies and those from Colorado where the crime took place have been in and out of the detention center.
